Volume 1: Ashes Chapter 74 Sweeping the Mountain
Encounter...... Butcher on a rainy night?
Ling Xiao's pupils shrank, and his heart was shocked.
The ferocity and horror of the butcher on a rainy night have long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, Ma Ying encountered this demon, but he was able to pick up a life, I really don't know if it is unlucky, or lucky!
When he sighed, a hearty voice came from his ears.
"Brother Ling, you're here too!"
Ling Xiao looked back and saw that it was Hong Zhutou. He was slightly stunned, and then suddenly he suddenly said, "Hong Zhutou came to find Brother Ma?" ”
In recent years, Zifengtai and the government have invested countless manpower in order to capture the butcher on a rainy night.
However, it backfired, not only did the butcher on a rainy night never subdue the law, but he didn't even know what this demon looked like, whether it was a man or a woman, and how much he cultivated.
"yes!"
Hong Zhutou sighed, "It's a pity that I still ran for nothing, and Daoist Ma Ying didn't see this fang clearly." ”
Ling Xiao couldn't help but ask, "This demon is so deceitful, why don't you apply for more foundation building monks to help?" ”
So far, the innocent people who died tragically at the hands of the butcher on a rainy night have not been 100 but 80, and there are more and more signs of repeating the serial tragedies of 30 years ago.
Hong Zhutou smiled bitterly: "I don't know. Maybe the foundation monks have already acted, or maybe they haven't. The news of those seniors is not something that I can ask about as a small head catcher. And I'm afraid things are going to take the worst......"
"What do you mean?" Ling Xiao asked.
"The Demon Sword Soul Slayer is a murder weapon, which will subtly affect the mind of the person in control, causing him to fall into the abyss, and it is difficult to suppress the urge to kill. But this generation of rainy night butchers is more cunning and forbearant than the one thirty years ago, and the frequency of crimes is not high! I'm afraid that if this demon knows how to control magic weapons, then it's broken! ”
Hong Zhutou's expression was unprecedentedly serious and worried.
In the end, ordinary demon cultivators can't suppress the urge to kill at all, so they will take risks, leaving clues that can be traced.
But this characteristic is not reflected in the butcher on a rainy night.
This man's killings have no pattern to follow, and every time, they leave no trace!
Ling Xiao couldn't help but be worried.
There is no monitoring to check, and it is difficult for the masses to report, and the vast sea of people wants to catch one, and the magic cultivation that cannot be seen on the surface is tantamount to looking for a needle in a haystack.
No wonder so much manpower has been put into it, and so far I can't even catch the corner of the butcher's clothes on a rainy night!
Hong Zhutou sighed for a while, then said goodbye and left, Ling Xiao had to pack up his mood and step into the Taoist temple.
The temple was unusually quiet, and almost all the Taoist priests were in the morning class, and no one was moving.
The car is familiar with the road to arrive at the talisman courtyard.
[Huh? Rare guests are coming! 】
The old locust tree quipped.
Feeling the shade of the tree that he had not seen for a long time, Ling Xiao felt relieved for a while, holding the second-order spirit stone in his hand and operating his mana.
After not practicing for so many days, Ling Xiao's perception of the Fire Snake Technique did not regress, and after only casting the spell twice, he successfully condensed the Fire Snake, which snaked and swept in mid-air, and its agility was abnormal.
Burst!
Ling Xiao snuffed off his mana, and the fire snake suddenly turned into a spark and dissipated into the air.
He recasts the spell and meticulously executes every step.
[Hey, by the way, when the mana is in the body, you have to simulate the operation of the fire snake. 】
[You don't have to pay attention to the overflow of mana, if you can condense the fire snake at this stage, it will be a success!] 】
What about your divine sense? The divine consciousness should be like a tail, always attached to the back of the mana, what do you do when you let go of the divine consciousness? 】
The old locust tree spoke earnestly, pointing out every problem of Ling Xiao in detail.
Perhaps because he hadn't seen it for too long, the old locust tree's guidance was more detailed than ever before, from shallow to deep, and every word made Ling Xiao feel empowered.
He painted the gourd in the same way, and his familiarity with the fire snake technique was soaring!
An hour later.
Ling Xiao's mana was exhausted.
The Fire Snake Technique consumes more mana than the Intermediate Spell, even if Ling Xiao holds the second-order spirit stone in his hand and keeps recovering, he can only last for an hour.
He was about to recover his mana, but he saw Xuanjizi striding in.
"Master Ling is here."
"Dao Chief!"
Ling Xiao stood up and saluted.
"Did you bring the fish?"
Xuan Jizi's first question was actually this, Ling Xiao couldn't help but sigh, took out the molten carp and handed it to the other party, and said, "Of course!" ”
Xuanjizi's eyes lit up and he accepted it.
For some reason, the molten carp sent by Ling Xiao was even sweeter and more delicious than the ones on the market, and the taste was unforgettable.
Of course, Xuan Jizi is not good at always collecting fish for nothing, so he muttered: "The donor wants to restore his mana?" In this case, while you recover, you sweep the mountain! ”
"Huh?"
Ling Xiao was stunned.
What does this old man mean?
Who knew that the old locust tree smiled: [Hehe...... You're blessed! After sweeping the mountain, the ability to comprehend mana will be on a higher level! 】
When Ling Xiao heard this, he was secretly shocked.
It seems that this so-called sweeping of the mountain has another mystery in it.
No wonder, all the people who are in Qingfeng have to take turns to sweep the mountain.
Xuan Jizi took a broom from the corner of the courtyard, handed it to Ling Xiao, and said with a smile: "Go, Master Ling." When you saw my scoundrel, you said that you had swept him away, and asked him to come back quickly to recuperate! ”
"Good!"
Ling Xiao didn't talk nonsense, just take it and leave.
"Ah, Lord Ling!"
"Why are you here?"
Walking all the way, the Dao Tong he met was overjoyed, and the eyes that looked at Ling Xiao were extremely respectful.
Ling Xiao greeted them with a smile and walked out of the spectator.
[Hey, why is he holding a broom? 】
[It won't be for him to sweep the mountain, right? What is the name of the small machine? 】
The old cypress tree was shocked.
A broom?
Ling Xiao looked at the broom in his hand and couldn't help but be surprised.
He did perceive that this broom contained a faint spirituality, but the spirituality was too weak, and it was not even as good as a beginner-level magic weapon.
"No matter, sweep away!"
He took a deep breath and ran down the mountain steps, and after a while, he found Ma Ying who was cleaning.
After explaining his intentions, Ma Ying raised his eyebrows and looked at Ling Xiao's eyes, which couldn't help but be a little more complicated.
"Since it is the master's order, then there is Lao Ling's benefactor."
Ma Ying didn't say anything after all, nodded and went up the mountain.
After walking for a while, Ma Ying suddenly stopped and looked back.
In the cover of branches and leaves, Ling Xiao could be vaguely seen standing still.
"Even if Master wants to accept you, that thing will never give you ......"
Ma Ying muttered to himself in a low voice, his face was a little distorted and hideous, looking very different from the usual amiable him!
……
Ling Xiao didn't hear Ma Ying's words, he was studying the Qingling Broom.
Injecting mana into it, Ling Xiao showed a surprised expression.
The operation of mana in the magic weapon is extremely strange, and it is different from any magic weapon he has ever touched!
"It's weird, is this a magic weapon?" He muttered to himself.
Immediately, the surrounding trees scrambled to tell the story.
[Did you find it?] 】
[The Qingling broom is a good thing, it is not a magic weapon, but it is better than a magic weapon! 】
[Its main function is to express the resonance between mana and the monk himself, so that the monk can better understand the rules of mana!] 】
[The more you sweep, the more profound your perception of mana! ] 】
Ling Xiao listened, his eyes became brighter and brighter, and without hesitation, after injecting a trace of mana into the Qingling broom, he lowered his head and swept up the fallen leaves.
